A novel transacetylase (TAase) function of glutamine synthetase (GS) in bacterial species such as Mycobacterium smegmatis and tuberculosis H37Rv was established by us, termed mycobacterial TAase (MTAase). Several polyphenolic acetates (PAs) were found to be substrates for MTAase inhibiting certain receptor proteins glutathione S-transferase way acetylation. The present work describes the descriptor-based 2D-QSAR studies developed a series PA synthesized us evaluated antimycobacterial...

The objective of the present study was to evaluate antitubercular activity amino and acyl derivatives coumarins when used alone in combination with isoniazid, rifampicin, streptomycin or ethambutol, decipher mode action most effective agent. A series were synthesized screened for against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain. These compounds further evaluated by standard assay procedures determine their MBCs, fractional inhibitory concentration index values cytotoxicities. MICs a...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR γ ) is a potential target for the treatment of several disorders. In view FDA approved kinase inhibitors, in current study, we have investigated interaction selected inhibitors with PPAR using computational modeling, docking, and molecular dynamics simulations (MDS). The docked conformations MDS studies suggest that KIs interact ligand binding domain (LBD) high positive predictive values. Hence, first time shown plausible site. results...

To evade the possible toxicity associated with formation of quinone-imine metabolite in amodiaquine (AQ), para-hydroxyl group was replaced a -F atom, and resulting 4'-fluoro-amodiaquine (FAQ) hybridized substituted pyrimidines. The synthesized FAQ-pyrimidines displayed better vitro potency than chloroquine (CQ) against resistant P. falciparum strain (Dd2), exhibiting up to 47.3-fold activity (IC50: 4.69 nM) CQ 222 2.8-fold artesunate 13.0 nM). Twelve compounds exhibited antiplasmodial...

Earlier observations carried out in our laboratory highlighted the mode of action acetoxy 4-meth-ylcoumarins and quercetin pentaacetate preventing genotoxicity aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). We have extended observation to an biscoumarin i.e. ellagic acid peracetate (EAPA), which unlike (EA) has demonstrated time-dependent inhibition liver microsomes catalysed AFB1-epoxidation as measured by AFB1 binding DNA. EAPA was more potent than EA bone marrow lung cells from AFB1-induced genotoxicity. acted...
